HEY!!! I at least read the Table of Contents and the Necklace of Fireballs entry. Does that count?

Oh, right, the magic item section. I'll give you that. And the Table of Contents so that you can find the Magic Item section.

That's a tough call, how much monster lore there is in a given campaign. I generally assume that the characters have some degree of understanding of the world, unless they campaign is predicated on them not. So they'd know that trolls need fire or acid to be destroyed, certain creatures might be hurt by silver, etc. Especially adventurers, whose line of work can directly bring them into contact with such beings.
